Overview:

Working of an AWG may include pumping air to a condensation area, exposing water received by condensation to ultraviolet light to remove bacteria and microorganisms, and water filtration by special filters that may adjust water minerals content and remove impurities. However, the input air may be contaminated with microorganisms and particulates, which may be passed to a water reservoir of the AWG. Further, the amount of mineral content in the water may be low or inconsistent by time.

Accordingly, to overcome the aforementioned problems, Input air quality may need to be maintained. Air quality may be managed by filtering input air that enters in an area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may be located, and filtering and sterilizing air that may be pumped into the AWG. In the two stages of air filtration, filters used may not prevent humidity or have any anti-humidity property.

The area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may be located may include filtered ventilation systems. For instance, Afpro® bag filters or similar filters may be used in an air conditioning system or air-flow system for the area/room/enclosure where the AWG machine may be located. Further, microorganism growth, such as bacterial or fungal may be impeded and may be made free of particles by use of HEPA air filters, and sterilization of the air with UV lights before the air reaches the condensation area of the AWG. The type of HEPA air filter, with a particular flow rate and resistance level, may be chosen on the basis of the AWG.

In summary, air may be controlled and filtered in two steps, first as the enters a room where the AWG may be placed, and second, before the air enters the condensation area in the AWG.

Further, the output air after filtration may be pumped out for recycling. Further, the air filtration process may have a positive effect on one or more water filtration units present in the AWG machine, increasing a life of the water filtration units due to a lack of dust or particulates entering the AWG.

Further, water filters may be used to control mineral content in water generated by the AWG. After water is generated, the water may pass through 4 stages of filtration, namely pre-carbon, post-carbon, reverse osmosis membrane, and TCR carbon.

Further, water production environment may need to be kept clean and free from airborne pathogens, in addition, the product (water) content of minerals and other chemicals should match standard laws and regulation in a region or country.

Further, chemical and biological tests may be performed from time to time according to rules and regulations to test the quality of the generated water. Water quality may need to be consistent each time and meet required standards. For instance, chemical tests for magnesium, calcium, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, and sulfate may be performed.

By way of non-limiting example, the online platform 100 to facilitate atmospheric water generation, and regulation of an environment of atmospheric water generation may be hosted on a centralized server 102, such as, for example, a cloud computing service.

The one or more environmental parameters, such as air quality, temperature, humidity, location, and so on may lead to the installation of AWGs with a particular set of technical specifications, which may operate in accordance with certain fixed operational parameters. For instance, environmental parameters may describe an AWG installed in a location with high relative humidity, and poor air quality such as including a high concentration of total volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter (PM) 2.5 concentrations. Accordingly, the AWG may include one or more carbon filters, and HEPA filters to filter input air. Further, operational parameters related to the AWG may describe an operational intensity of the one or more filters.

Further, at 606, the method 600 may include transmitting, using the communication device, one or more contextual parameters to optimize one or more installations of atmospheric water generators (AWGs). For instance, based on one or more environmental factors of an installation of an AWG, the operational parameters of the AWG may be modified to optimize the generation of water from the AWG. For instance, if the environmental parameters describe an AWG to be installed in a location with high relative humidity, and poor air quality such as including a high concentration of total volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter (PM) 2.5 concentrations, and a high content of microbes such as bacteria, operational parameters related to the AWG may be modified to increase an operational intensity of one or more air filters in the AWG, including one or more HEPA filters, carbon filters, and so on. Further, after condensation of water through the AWG, the operational parameters may dictate the working of a UV filter to reduce microbial level in the water.

Dry air may exit from the top of the water generation plant 900 as dry air is lighter than the moist air. Further, the water generation plant 900 may include an outdoor dust suppression barrier system 916 surrounding water generation plant 900, to be used in case of dusty and windy weather to capture dust and particles and to optimize working of the one or more air vacuum machines 904.

Further, both exterior and interior thermostats may send information to a computing device which may adjust the temperature and humidity in the air inside the water generation plant 900 to a desired level, such as at 77 F and 80% humidity. In an instance, the temperature inside the water generation plant 900 may be controlled by an air cooling and heating system 910. Further, the water generation plant 900 may include a storage tank 912 for water shortage and for shortage of humidity.

For instance, if temperature outside the AWG plant is 40 F the AWG plant may be heated to increase the temperature to 77 F. However, this may lead to a decrease in humidity level. Accordingly, if the loss in humidity is 30%, appropriate amount of water may be sprinkled/sprayed to increase the humidity. Further, the water generation plant 900 may be designed with sound proofing materials (floors, ceilings, walls, the entire structure may of the water generation plant 900 may be isolated with isolation systems). Further, the water generation plant 900 may be built as large as possible to allow air to enter and exit in easy way through advance sucking moist air and pushing out dry air through air vacuum, and pumping systems. Further, water generation plant 900 plant may be built with green materials, so as to remain environment friendly, and may include the one or more AWGs 902 designed to filter water with long lasting filters such as pre carbon filtration, post carbon filtration, reverse osmosis, TCR carbon, and so on. Further, the UV exposure in the water generation plant 900 may extend life of the one or more filters. Further, the solar panels 906 in all directions may produce 4000 KW of electricity per day to allow the one or more AWGs 902 to produce 20,000 liters of water per day, Further, the water generation plant 900 may include an electrical control room, a temperature and humidity control system, a water testing lab for water quality control, biological control and air quality control, and a bottling process plant. After biological water testing for water quality control, biological control and air quality control, minerals may be added to the water, such as in accordance with local laws and regulations.
